Google Analytics enabled for primer in GitBook

[masinter]

there is a google analytics integration which I installed and configured to support the primer only, and Google Analytics IDG-JXK20KN1W1

if we want to watch to see how people are using the primer and online and the web site, the hope is that analytics will give us some insights.
Do we have everything configured? What should we look for?

First off, just thinking about the primer, we should understand how users move through it. Do they get to the intro page and continue or leave? How much time do they spend on individual pages or the site in general. Which of the links to the Interlisp website do use?

Where are users from? That's more of a curiosity then terribly informative. Do visitors return? Do they move on and spend time on online.interlisp.org? I'm not sure we can tell if they download Medley, but do they visit the running Medley pages?

We probably need to get smarter on using Google Analytics to answer some of these questions. Right now, I think it's sufficient to understand the basic traffic. Longer term, it would be useful to start learning how to map the journey users take. Where do they come from, where do they go; their arc through the Medley universe. And, what does that tell us about the community and how to better engage them? And how to do this respectfully and with regard to user privacy.
